KUALA LUMPUR: Plans by a local Malaysian government to relocate a 150-year-old Hindu temple to a majority Muslim area have been shelved after continued protests, a lawmaker said on Sunday. The decision came after a consultation between Selangor state officials and local people descended into chaos on Saturday, with protesters threatening violence, local media reported. Charles Santiago, an MP with the opposition Democratic Action Party, told AFP: “Selangor state is looking for a new site due to the protest by the Muslims.”
